As the first generation of Chinese musicians since the 1949 Communist Revolution to grow-up in relative political stability, economic prosperity, and exposure to western popular culture, BRAIN FAILURE is influenced by bands like Operation Ivy, Sex Pistols, and The Clash.

BRAIN FAILURE were the first musicians in the People´s Republic of China to shave Mohawks and belt-out the dissonant sounds of revolution over power-chords, in the late 1990´s. Appearing on China´s first punk compilation, Wuliao Jundui, they soon started a punk rock revolution in the P.R.C.. BRAIN FAILURE has inspired an entire generation of Chinese youth, and an evolving punk andhardcore scene that is growing around the country. BRAIN FAILURE has since become the first Chinese punk band to release their album and tour widely on the international scene.
